Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:11:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=379766#comment-1631214The Bills could have potentially made the playoffs if Fred Jackson never went down. If they want to make a push now, they may want to start looking at other options than Fitz at QB. He can be on at times, but after having to suffer through a season with him as the QB when Palmer went on, almost any Cinci fan could tell you Buffalo made a mistake with that big contract he signed.

so have they developed a specific strategy to securing a wild card spot, or did they forget that they are in the AFC TB12 division?

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:26:24 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=379766#comment-1631040“build the team through free agency and use the draft for depth….sounds like a good plan…not. that is the EXACT opposite of how the super bowl champs (twice in 5 years) do it.”

is this guy serious? obviously a big splash is not building through free agency buddy nix is looking for a playmaker or two and that’s what the bills need. his philosophy has always been building through the draft which is why they never trade away picks and have acquired several since he’s been here. building is developing your own studs like stevie johnson, jairus byrd, kyle williams and marcell dareus, re-signing them and bringing in playmakers to take you to the next level.

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:19:06 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=379766#comment-1631009I see them bringing in two Saints, Carl Nicks and Robert Meachem.

Historically it seems like offensive linemen don’t care as much about sun and fun when picking new teams (which fits their job description, I suppose).

Meachem has the interesting problem of his potential being somewhat undermined by his system, so his market value is somewhat hard to assess. The Bills can offer him a contract closer to the high end of that potential that another team probably won’t match.

Get your front line players through the draft, build depth with 2nd and 3rd tier free agents.

I would HAPPILY take losing four in a row again by comparison to the last thirteen years. I don’t know of any fan that would rather be out of the serious playoff picture by week 10 every year if the other option was losing the Super Bowl every year. The Bills won 58 games in that four year span. I’ll take that any day.

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:03:16 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=379766#comment-1630943They are not BUILDING the team through FA, they are filling holes, and adding long term depth and talent through the draft. Most of this team is young, they started building with young talent and through the draft the last couple of years….Dareus, D Nelson, S Johnson, Urbik, Levitre, Chandler, Sheppard, A Williams, Byrd, etc……..they are now at the point where they can be close to a contender, so they will spend money on REAL FA’s to get them over the hump, and then continue to add to their talent w/ draft picks.

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:58:04 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=379766#comment-1630924My guess is they’re going to throw big money at the two Marios: Williams and Manningham. They need an aggressive pass rusher and a solid #2 WR opposite Stevie Johnson, so these moves would make sense.
